On the weekend of February 25-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada, 105 Gypsy Vanner Horse Society members and enthusiasts gathered to celebrate all the GVHS program winners from the 2021 show season. |

Colorful reception attendees Chris Shackleton, Troy Osborne and Ryan VanTassel |
|
Over 30 horse show judges attended seeking to renew their Gypsy Vanner judging licenses or seeking to become a Gypsy Vanner judge. The event began with a wonderful reception on Friday night featuring food and fun. Wayne Hipsley presented a two day seminar, presenting information enlightening both judges and owners/ breeders. The goal was achieved to get both sides involved in discussion regarding the breed, show rules, what is expected and ways to improve your presentation of a Gypsy Vanner. |

On Saturday night an elegant dinner was served by the Caesar's Palace staff, while magician Robb Weinstock moved among the attendees entertaining everyone with his amazing talent and gift of humor. After dinner all 2021 program winners were announced and gorgeous photos of the winners and their horses was projected on the big screen while the names and awards were read out. Many of the winners were in attendance and came forward to accept their awards.
Sunday morning many of the members gathered for a GVHS business meeting, reviewing the year 2021 and discussing the plans for the future. There was a lot of great member questions and ideas. The judges wrapped up their seminar with a session with Wayne Hipsley on Sunday morning. Everyone enjoyed the event, the beautiful Caesar's Palace facility and Las Vegas!
